Creating Meaningful Stakeholder Engagement
Tired of being the last-minute “training request” department? You’re not alone. Many L&D professionals struggle to position themselves as strategic partners rather than order-takers, leaving their expertise underutilized and their impact limited.
The difference between reactive and proactive often comes down to how effectively you engage with stakeholders. When done well, stakeholder engagement transforms your role from training producer to trusted advisor, allowing you to align learning solutions with business goals and demonstrate real value.
This Coffee Chat is about “Beyond Order-Taking: Creating Meaningful Stakeholder Engagement in L&D.”
In this session, we’ll share practical approaches to building influential relationships with stakeholders at all levels. We’ll discuss how to initiate strategic conversations, ask the right questions to uncover actual needs and communicate the value of your solutions. Whether you’re trying to elevate your department’s role or simply want more productive partnerships with business leaders, this chat will provide actionable strategies to enhance your stakeholder relationships.
What you can expect:
- Shifting the Conversation: Techniques for moving from tactical requests to strategic discussions
- Effective Needs Analysis: Questions that uncover the real business challenges behind training requests
- Demonstrating Value: How to communicate learning impact in language stakeholders understand
- Managing Expectations: Strategies for saying “no” constructively while maintaining relationships
